I enjoyed reading Goodwood by Holly Throsby which is set in a small Australian town somewhere in southern New South Wales. The narrator is a teenage girl, Jean, who tells the story of what happened in the town over several months. Rosie, a popular teenage girl goes missing and a few days later the town's butcher, Bart, also goes missing. The shock for the town is great as the residents speculate on what might have happened to them. This time is also a "coming of age" for Jean. There are many characters (too many), some of whom are likable and interesting. 4/5
